Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has explained why the federal government did not hesitate to approve Lagos State\u2019 request for a new airport in the Lekki-Epe area of the state.<\/p>\n

Sirika said Federal Government gave the approval because of Lagos’ rich culture, history, industries, and tourism potential needs to be linked and shared with Africa and beyond.<\/p>\n

The Minister added that the Lagos economy, which plays host to about 200 financial institutions, needs to be connected to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

He stated this on Tuesday while presenting a letter of approval for a new airport<\/a> at the Ehingbeti Lagos Economic summit.<\/p>\n

The minister, who acknowledge the economic potential of the state, said \u201cThis city, which houses about 26.7 percent of national GDP, housing our stock exchange, 200 financial institutions, 25 million people, on 5,377 square kilometres of landmass plus Eko Atlantic, plus all the industries, the rich culture, the tradition, the history, the tourist attraction the Eyo Festival, and so on and so forth, needs to be connected to the world to continue to be the center of the economy of the activity of the country, Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the only way you can link this city of Lagos to the world is obviously \u2014 not the only way, but the best way to connect \u2014 by infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, when his excellency, the governor, approached us in [the] civil aviation ministry and says he wants to build an airport in Lagos, another airport? I said yes, this is a huge step in the very right direction. And the reason is simple. Like I said, in my days of Lagos, the terminal point is Maroko, Sandfield. When you go there, you only go to mechanic to do panel beating for you \u2014 that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut today, from here, all the way to outer VGC, all the way to Epe, it\u2019s Lagos. The expansion is astronomical, it\u2019s huge, it\u2019s big. The ideas and the size of the economy is good and big. So you need to continue to link Lagos, not only with Nigeria, [but] Africa and the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if you look at all these financial institutions, the 200 industrial estates and the Eko Atlantic, there must be a way that these people will come in and out of Lagos on another alternatively, which is the airport in Lekki. Your excellency, the governor, this is a huge step in the right direction, we didn\u2019t waste time to give the approval. And we\u2019re happy to present the certificate today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
